Hi all
My story is i have been constantly twitching in my calfs 24/7 for the past 4 weeks now, and in that time i have been told by 3 different people that they have noticed me dragging my right foot (where i get about 60+ twinges a minute). When people tell me this i am not sure if i have self conciously been walking like this to avoid putting full pressure on that leg as it feels crampy when i walk sometimes so i kinda get scared to walk on it properly i think in case i feel that pain because it will only set my mind off again.
anyways ofcourse this has got me thinking about drop foot, now i have not tripped up at all and i have done all the tests, ie walking on heals, standing on one leg, running up and down stairs and moving my anke around and it all seems fine BUT i have noticed when i walk i feel like a strain in my right calf and was woundering if this is how drop foot first presents itself?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All
Chris
